Summary: "Nordmanna-Mystik: Bilder Från Nordens Forntid" by A. U. Bååth is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the mystical beliefs, magic, and folk traditions of the ancient Nordic peoples, drawing from sources like the Eddas and Icelandic sagas to explore their rich cultural heritage and its influences. The opening of the text lays the groundwork for an exploration of Norse mythology and practices, emphasizing an understanding of the pre-Christian worldview of the Nordic people. Bååth discusses how beliefs in protective spirits (fylgjor) and the nature of evil beings (ovättar) shaped their society. He introduces characters from these sagas, such as the seer Torhall and Sido-Hall, establishing a narrative that blends history and lore as it recounts stories of magic, omens, and the relationships between human and supernatural forces.
